Now, AI can predict where and when lightning will strike

New Delhi, Nov 11 (ANI): Since lightning is considered one of the most unpredictable natural occurrences of nature, researchers found a method of predicting when lightning may strike. At EPFL's School of Engineering, researchers in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, led by Farhad Rachidi, have developed a simple and inexpensive system that can predict when lightning will strike to the nearest 10 to 30 minutes, within a 30-kilometre radius.
